According to the Stanton family’s temperament, they would never allow Nicole, who had not yet recovered, to attend a social gathering.Moreover, Nicole did not need to attend such a social gathering.Mitchell nodded. “I heard that the other party is a woman who specifically asked for Ms. Stanton. I’ve investigated that company in advance.”Eric’s eyes were stern. “Did your people see her?”Mitchell paused and said hesitantly, “N-No…”Eric looked at him with an indifferent face, then took his jacket and walked out in stride.Mitchell shot Toto a look in trepidation. Toto understood and immediately followed.“Mr. Ferguson, wait for me!”......Gremlin Club.Although the other party only asked to see Nicole alone, as insurance, Nicole still brought Logan along.When they arrived at the appointed private room, Logan opened the door for Nicole, who walked and saw the person sitting inside.Hah! It was Old Master Ferguson!Nicole raised an eyebrow and walked in calmly. She nodde
Nicole raised her eyebrows.It seemed that Old Master Ferguson was starting to get scared that Nicole and Eric would get together.“However, according to my understanding, Eric won’t give up on you so easily. He wants you desperately if he can’t get you, and he won’t cherish you once he gets you. If you want to make him dispel this idea completely, you have to think of another way…”Old Master Ferguson’s eyes were incomparably sharp after having experienced the vicissitudes of life.Nicole curled her lips. “Another way? What does that mean?”“You can let him watch you get together with other people. He will certainly feel worse than dying. Either that, or you can take the power away from his hands. That way, he would have no ability to disturb your life anymore.”Nicole’s smile faded as she looked up at Old Master Ferguson.Old Master Ferguson saw that Nicole was finally interested, so he smiled with satisfaction and spoke slowly. Aren’t you friends with Nathaniel? If you preten
Nicole thought about it and stood up.“Regarding this matter, I’ll go back and discuss it with my father and brother. Chairman Ferguson, it’s late, so I’ll get going.”Nicole did not want to get involved with Ferguson Corporation. Old Master Ferguson had really gone senile.After that, Nicole stood up and glanced at Logan.Logan hurriedly handed her the cane and walked to the other side to support her, intending to leave quickly.“Stop right there!”Old Master Ferguson was furious. His cloudy eyes were full of rage.“Nicole, if you don’t agree to this matter, don’t even think about leaving this place. I know that this is just a deferment. Who do you think you’re trying to fool?”For a time, the atmosphere in the room was cold and solemn.Nicole turned her head slightly. Her glimmering eyes sank and had a cold intent.She recollected her smile. Her face was unmoved.“Chairman Ferguson, are you trying to force me into this? Don’t try to be smart. I’m not a fool. I don't even c
Nicole should have thought of it sooner. How could Old Master Ferguson say such unreasonable conditions unprepared?She was proficient in martial arts. If Nicole’s leg was not injured, she could defeat another ten more people.Old Master Ferguson knew that she was crippled and could not move nimbly.Thus, he only prepared two men.If Nicole had agreed to let Logan leave at the beginning, Old Master Ferguson would probably not have let Logan get away.Thinking of this, Nicole immediately understood what Old Master Ferguson meant.She smiled and looked to the side at him. She stepped forward and approached Old Master Ferguson.Her tone also became gentle in a very sensible way.“Old Master Ferguson, why make the situation so ugly? If I’ve done anything wrong, you can just say it frankly. I’ll change…”Old Master Ferguson sneered. He saw Nicole’s transformation and knew that she was afraid.He relaxed and let down his guard.“It’s good that you know. Eric is fond of you, so he
The two men standing at the door were still frozen there as they pondered whether to go up and save Old Master Ferguson.Old Master Ferguson barked an order. “Get them! Control them and don’t let them leave this place!”Nicole’s tone was overbearing. “I’d like to see who dares!”She let go of her cane and walked to the other side. Although her leg was injured, it did not affect her nimble pace.Old Master Ferguson sneered. “Then do you dare to do anything to me?”Nicole lowered her eyes and glanced at him coldly.“Of course I dare!”After that, Nicole took out her cane and poked it fiercely on his chair.The chair tilted to the other side, and in the next second, there was a heavy thud. The chair along with Old Master Ferguson fell to the ground.Old Master Ferguson’s body trembled violently, most probably from anger.It was too humiliating!The two bodyguards stepped forward and were just about to make a move when the door was suddenly slammed open violently. They saw tha
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Old Master Ferguson wanted me to get together with Nathaniel to remove you from your position…”Eric’s deep eyes sank, but it was only for that front part of the sentence.Soon after, Eric smiled recklessly and indifferently.“Then sorry to disappoint. Nathaniel is recently dating another woman, and they’re very much in love.”Nicole was slightly stunned. She did not notice that he had subtly shifted the focus.She was very curious and asked, “Who is it?”Eric did not hide it from her. “Keith’s ex-wife, that annoying woman.”Nicole’s face instantly stiffened. ‘This relationship is a bit complicated, right?’At once, she had mixed feelings in her heart.However, they were both single, so there was nothing to criticize.The kind of wounded woman like Livia dating a playboy like Nathaniel would end up more damaged if she was trapped in that love.“Do you want to go?”Eric had to ask twice before Nicole came back to her senses.“Of course. By the w
Eric’s features were deep as he inclined his head to look at Mitchell.“Is Nathaniel cooperating?”“Yes, Young Master Nathaniel is very cooperative. He just has one request, which is for you to help hide his matter…”Mitchell did not expect that Nathaniel was so determined to make a personal appearance in the entertainment industry that he even gave up on exploration.Nathaniel liked that woman so much that he was not willing to expose her identity to the public.That was because once netizens dug up their past, their relationship would most likely end there.Eric sneered. “Alright, but if he dares to stab me in the back, I’ll get that woman to remarry Keith.”Mitchell replied, “Yes, sir…”This was really torturing!Nathaniel would most probably go crazy after he heard it.Eric rubbed his glabella. Toto came up from the side. “Mr. Ferguson, does Ms. Stanton like that gift?”“Find more gifts for her. There will always be one that she likes!”Toto was shocked by this bold sta
Kai frowned. “I don’t think it’ll go to that point. Do you think that Eric Ferguson is a softy if Ferguson Corporation’s leadership can change so easily?”Floyd narrowed his eyes in anger. “How about we take advantage of them in peril and make them suffer a little?”It seemed that Floyd was really holding a grudge.Nicole laughed helplessly. “It’s not that easy. I think that Eric knows of Old Master Ferguson’s whereabouts like the back of his hand. He won’t be unprepared.”Grant, who kept silent, suddenly said, “That’s not necessarily true. If we strike, we might have a chance of winning.”Floyd looked at his eldest son with satisfaction.Sure enough, his eldest son was just like him, unlike Kai, who only knew to destroy his prestige.Nicole paused. “If it was before today, we can surely do that, but after today, I hope that Eric could win.”If Eric won, Old Master Ferguson would be exasperated.That way, she could get her revenge.Grant and Floyd looked at her with slight di
Chatty and Fischer had been apart for so long, so they cried when they finally hugged.Fischer could not bear to see her cry.When her sobbing eased a little, Fischer lowered his head to wipe her tears and gently coaxed her not to cry.Chatty took a deep breath and calmed herself down as soon as possible.She had so many questions for him.Seeing that her eyes were swollen from crying, Fischer pinched her cheek and said with a smile, “Do you still want to drink coffee? If you don’t want this, we can go to my place, and I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”Chatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chatty’s hand. He turned around to pick up her bag and pushed the door open.The waiter at the back was envious that they were such a perfect match.Chatty saw that he was holding her hand and felt as if an electric current passed through her heart.When they were young, Fischer often held her hand. They were inseparable, and he liked her the most.Was he still the same
After Chatty left, Clayton sighed miserably for several days, and Nicole was speechless when she saw this.Life in school was not so boring.Although Chatty had been spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or insufferable.Chatty was bubbly, outgoing, and clever, so she was very popular.From time to time, she invited everyone to party in her big villa. Thus, everyone loved her even more.Chatty also enjoyed her time alone.She would go for a walk along the Seine and feed the pigeons in the sunset...However, she always felt that someone was watching her whenever she was alone.Even so, she did not think much about it. After all, her father arranged so many security personnel for her.Maybe that stare was from a bodyguard.Chatty walked alone in the sunset with an ice cream in hand and a limited-edition bag that her mom bought for her. Chatty was planning to send this bag back to Mediania.She was a young and beautiful lady with stunning features, so she was a sight to
Clayton talked to Chatty about studying abroad.Chatty agreed without hesitation.He asked her where she wanted to go, to which she replied that she was fine with anywhere except France.Clayton pondered for a while before asking, “Are you reluctant about France because of Fischer?”Chatty’s eyes turned red.“I don’t remember him at all. Daddy, don’t mention him!”She felt aggrieved.Chatty grew up with him, and he suddenly disappeared one day.It felt like a dream.That person was no longer behind her. Fischer was no longer around.Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.“Chatty, now that you’ve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldn’t contact you, so if you see him in the future, don’t blame him.”Chatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Clayton’s eye, so when had she ever suffered any grievanc
In the blink of an eye, Chatty grew up.As soon as she graduated from high school, she found a boyfriend.She was also happy to go home and share the good news with Nicole.Nicole did not think much of it. She thought that her daughter should enjoy the feeling of sweet and youthful love.Thus, Nicole asked Chatty about her feelings and did not think she was too serious in a relationship.Nicole felt that she could turn a blind eye to it.However, when Clayton found out, he could not sleep all night.Clayton intended to have a good talk with his daughter.Chatty did not think much of it.“Everyone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didn’t have one, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while I’m young. Otherwise, it won’t be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isn’t perfect!”Clayton tried to persuade her. “You’re still young. If you see the world, you’ll know that men aren’t great.”“Then is Mommy blind since she’s with y
Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.The autopsy results came out overnight.Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selena’s aunt.They followed the lead and arrested her.The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and
Jade was silent for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips.“I don’t care what method you use. You must get your parents to see Selena. Otherwise, I will make your parents drink this bottle of potassium cyanide.”Jennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.“Okay.”She spoke in a low voice.The uneasiness and fear in her eyes could not be concealed.......A few days later, the opportunity came.Eric specially brought Selena to attend a charity auction to relax her mind.Moreover, he also bought a lot of jewelry and antiques. Soon, he became the focus of the crowd.After the auction, there was a charity dinner.Jennifer’s parents managed to get an invitation through various channels.Jade was already in the center of the venue. She wanted to watch this good show, but Jennifer’s parents came late, and the crowd dispersed when they arrived.Jade was furious.If they missed this opportunity, how long would they have to wait for the next opportunity?The Stan
When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.“The past is in the past. Let’s forgive each other, okay?”Nicole nodded with sore eyes.“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare
Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”Jade’s complexion was dull.“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jade’s face turned pale.“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”Nicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.“Then… What did you discuss?”Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.“You… You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!”Nicole sneered
